Embroidery: WIP

As the baby lay in the Sanatorium nursery her mother's lungs healed from tb. The sun shone but it didn't smile on the baby for there was a darkness lurking and it was evil.

Even though I am randomly adding bits and pieces it still doesn't have the freedom I want. Perhaps I just have to let it be what it is.
I am treating this is a sampler where I can explore stitches and ideas.
The sun is satin stitch.
Just an added note: these are my OWN embroidery designs and copyrighted

A Rare moment of creativity with Ceramics
and I am thinking my little birdy may end up on the embroidery piece somewhere.
I did this small tile for the John Bryan Community Mural Project a couple of years ago.

That birdie should totally go on some other art work - and I adore the story of your and all of your purple that you left at my blog - I remember very fondly, the Mary Quant makeup - as I read the list of lovelies that were so important to you at that time, I was right there, imagining it all again with you and smiling...

thanks for dropping by Penny. I looked at the digitized embroidery and it is beautiful looking but it requires a machine. It is the meditative quality of hand sewing I enjoy and an important part of the process for me as an artist.

I saw Bonnie and Clyde Lady P and wanted so bad to look like Faye Dunnaway in her Beret. The Mary Quant was very BIG in London in the late sixties and LOVED it.
